The yearly purge, coordinated by the Library of Congress Professional Association, serves as a fundraiser for the Combined Federal Campaign, with 100 percent of the proceeds flowing through to the CFC general fund. Per organizers, all manner of media donated by LOC staffers are ripe for the plucking. Prices for the first day of the sale range from $3 for hardcover books to $1 cassette tapes to $2 a pop for video games. Come Thursday, the prices for those particular items drop to $2, $0.50 and $1 respectively, as they do across the board.
